Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 623
"It's Chinese New Year, it's time to go home..."

A voice as deep as a night owl, hysterical, amidst the sound of firecrackers, the fireworks are bright... That voice swayed under the night sky, empty... actually suppressed the sky full of firecrackers, I wiped my face and let go The legs ran towards the house, streets, alleys, firecrackers, fireworks, the familiar threshold of the big bluestone. The open door!

And I, standing at the door, those eyes... were looking at me!
Under the eaves, the old man who looks like dead bark, he has aged a lot, his eyes are cloudy, dull, and numb. The moment he saw me... the whole person was like a puppet in a daze, with a half bent body and a bent waist .. holding a cigarette butt with sparks in one hand, lighting the firecrackers under the eaves!

clap clap..
"Hey, old man... get up, get up, firecrackers, firecrackers!"

The unfinished sentence, the figure leaning on the threshold, my grandma stayed there for a moment, the thimble, needle and thread, and the mixed blue cloth was mended with one hand, it was the cotton clothes I had when I was a child!
Crackling, crackling crackling firecrackers all over the floor, I looked at him, he looked at me... In the instant of firecrackers, that kind of noise, that kind of New Year's flavor, all melted into the eyes that looked at each other.
"grandparents!"

"I am back!"

There was a plop... two knees landed on the ground, and there was a loud crash!
"Nine nine, nine catties!"

With a choked voice, the cotton clothes rolled all over the floor, pedaling... three-inch golden lotus stepped on the ground, grandma rushed up like a lunatic, and hugged me tightly!
"Ninety-nine catties, you...you lost weight!"

I choked up, my chest felt like a block of lead was blocked, there was an indescribable pain, my heart was squeezed, my lungs were clenched... Grandma hugged me for a moment, and the tears in my eyes couldn't help rolling down anymore!

"Grandma, I'm back, I'm back!"

crackling crackling
The sound of cannons blasted all over the sky, I hugged grandma tightly, my eyes were cloudy with tears... Looking at grandpa, the eaves of the house were filled with a string of firecrackers, two strings, three strings The eaves are covered!

The old man looked at me, and the dry cigarettes lit the firecrackers under the eaves one by one. There were explosions all over the sky. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the bark-like hand held the cigarette butt and slowly stuffed it into his mouth inside!
clap clap. clap clap.
"Come back, it's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

In the sound of firecrackers, the firecrackers all over the yard exploded, the only one in the whole village, and the only sound of firecrackers... welcoming his grandson's return, return!

The old man smiled, the old man had a cigarette in his mouth, and laughed... just laughed!

There is no crying of parting sorrow, no tears of reunion turning into rain, no crying at all, in the end, only me who cried, grandma choked her throat, red eye circles, and the old man, laughing, only laughing...
How to talk about leaving the wound with tears. There are some words that cannot be uttered with tears!
The small courtyard of the farmhouse...five figures, three benches...this was my family's conversation, Xiaohua Daner and Lin Qianxiao looked at each other and smiled, and took a few steps back consciously, they are both smart people, They all saw that they were avoiding suspicion.Unexpectedly, the old man waved his hand lightly, "Keep it...Keep it, there are no outsiders who can enter this door!"

With a voice, the two stopped. The old man was smoking a cigarette, and the light from the fire was shining brightly, reflecting his dry face like old bark. He is really old when he is old. I haven't seen him for a year. His old I can't imagine it!
"Jiujiner, do you hate me?"

He made a speechless sentence, stared at the old man speechlessly, with half a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, and laughed. I don't know why, but there is always a smile on the corner of his mouth!
"Grandpa, you...why do you keep laughing!"

The sentence I asked was also out of tune, the old man looked at me, the corner of his mouth curled up, that smile... made it even more ridiculous!
"Because you came back alive!"

A sudden sentence, very sudden...but a momentary thought, unexpected, but also reasonable...alive, I came back alive, what could make the old man happier than this...!
There was a silence, he was laughing and I laughed too!

"Hate, why do you hate, I never thought that my own grandpa would harm me!"

I laughed, the old man was smoking a cigarette, the butt of the cigarette was bright for a moment, the old man took that breath, his eyes were fixed!
"Understand... just understand, everyone in the world can't understand, everyone can hate me, but...but my grandson believes it, it's worth it, it's worth it!" The old man nodded, suddenly I raised my head... I looked at the sky, and there was a muffled sound in the east... I followed closely and looked over, Laolongshan... That's Laolongshan!
"The 28th of the twelfth lunar month is here, and Laolongshan... should also be broken!"

The old man looked to the east, and smiled bitterly. I looked at Laolong Mountain in the east and was startled, "December 28, the Chen Family Bureau is on Laolong Mountain!"

"Hmph, Jiu Jin'er, remember? I told you since I was a child that there are people who worship things on the Old Dragon Mountain. Hehe, I never imagined that this Old Dragon Mountain...is our Chen family, the real ancestral grave!"

The old man uttered a sound, and the sound of thunder and thunder made me tremble. I looked up at the sky for the sound of thunder. It was really thunder.
The old man glanced at the sky, watching a thunder dragon rolling across the sky, "Old Dragon Mountain... is broken, and the situation of the Chen family should also be broken!"

"The situation in the Chen family is broken. Grandpa, hurry up... let's go to Laolongshan now!" I screamed in surprise, but unexpectedly, the old man smiled and shook his head, "No hurry, no hurry... just a moment Don't be impatient, I can't untie the knot in your heart, Laolongshan...it doesn't matter if you go or not!"

"Grandpa, what did you say, the knot in my heart!" I looked at the old man in shock, and the old man just smiled, "Yes, the knot in your heart, you can't see it clearly, you can't figure it out in the past year. .Unknown!"

"Grandpa, I... Is the knot in my heart more important than the situation in the Chen family?"
"Hmph, the game is dead, but people are alive. There is no game that can't be broken, but after all, there will be knots that can't be broken!" The old man sighed, and this... really sigh tone!

"Jiu Jin'er, maybe, you don't know that you once hated me too!"

The old man smiled, and I was stunned!

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"Don't rush to deny it. If I'm not your grandfather...you dare to say, you don't hate me!" The old man smiled and looked at me, and I looked at him dully. "For more than 20 years, I haven't taught you a single ounce of yin and yang, but a year ago, I used that girl from the Cheng family to force you into this path!"

"Half a year ago, I forced you to change your appearance..Forced you to change your name and surname. In the end..I replaced Chen Jiujin's you with another one!"

"I keep saying that I want you to go back to the mountains and live an ordinary life, but until now I still write thousands of miles and tell you to rush back to the Chen Family Bureau!"

"You don't hate me.. dare you say that you never hated me. You don't hate me.. because I am your grandfather who has loved you for 20 years. If you don't believe that I will harm you, I will kill you with my own hands. You are at a dead end!"

"Nine pounds, I said, right?"

"Why...Grandpa, tell me why?" I asked, and the old man's words... really hit my heart, why, yes... I always wanted to ask him why, He tried his best to keep me, but at the same time forced me away with Cheng Xi's fatal knife. When he returned to the mountains and forests, he used another Chen family bureau to call me back!

Why, why... I have too many whys in my mind. Indeed, I have to admit that Grandpa understands me like a roundworm in my stomach. He sees my scars and my heart exactly. Knot, a heart disease, a scar that hurts for no reason!

Grandpa indeed, I need an answer, an explanation!
I looked at my grandpa, and my grandpa looked at me, his cloudy eyes lit up... a gleam of light, those eyes were aimed at me like knives, "Jiujiner, you haven't changed, you haven't changed at all!"
"What has changed, grandpa, what do you think I will become!" I asked, and the old man smiled, "but suddenly shook his head, "It's not changed...it's better if it doesn't change, it's better if it doesn't change, If you change today, I don't have to call you back! "

"A year ago, I thought...the Chen family needed a cold-blooded and ruthless general, but one year later...after I saw the general's cold-bloodedness, I realized that a real general should not be cold-blooded, but should be cold-blooded. It's ambition and tenderness!" The old man uttered an inexplicable sentence, but it reached my ears, the sound filled my ears, and the beating of the drum was bright, the general he was talking about was him, it was Chen Jiujin, who killed like a tiger, cold-blooded and ruthless!

"Jiujin'er, you've seen him!" the old man said, and I nodded in a daze, "Yes, I've seen him before he wasn't Chen Jiujin."

"He, how..."

"He is powerful, very powerful, ruthless, and well-managed. Master said he is a general!"

"How do you think you are better than him?" The old man smiled, I stared blankly at my grandfather, and slowly shook my head, "I don't know!"

"Okay, okay, okay" the old man nodded, but I was at a loss, "Okay... where does this good word come from!"

"This one is good because...you don't know, not because you are not as good as him!" The old man seemed to see through my mind, and in one sentence, I suddenly understood. Indeed, I didn't know. I used to think that I Not as good as him, not as cold-blooded, not as powerful...not as arrogant and frivolous as him, but the moment I let go of Chen Jiujin's name, I understood that no matter how powerful he is, he is still no more than a substitute for me. ..become his lifetime double!
"It took me one year...to become his lifelong substitute, hehe, besides being cold-blooded, I'm not as good as him?" I smiled, and the old man also smiled, but the moment I smiled, the east lit up, and the light and darkness intersected... like a flower The huge fireworks burst into the air, and the old man looked at the fireworks, half of the sky was bright, "Actually...you should know that Chen Jiujin's reputation should belong to him!"

"Yes, I know"

I nodded, the old man didn't look back, he kept looking at Dong Tian, ​​"But the moment you set foot on the old mansion in Liuzhou, everyone's life has changed!"

The old man glanced sideways, "He who was supposed to save the world from fire and water to save the Chen family from being in trouble, wants to start a family and start a business. You, who should have an ordinary and peaceful life, have to go on like a war!"
